Health Information Technology Career Studies Certificate Program
The Health Information Technology Career Studies Certificate program is designed for Healthcare and Information Technology (IT) professionals to ensure they have the skills and knowledge needed for them to be leaders in the nationwide transition to Electronic Health Records. Electronic Health Records (EHR) are the central component of the Health IT infrastructure. An EHR is an individual's official, digital health record and can be securely shared among multiple facilities and agencies. Through the use of EHR, health providers have access to vital patient data such as medical history, lab results, medical images and patient billing information. This discipline conveys the integration of information technology into healthcare to support the workflow and business objectives of clinicians. All course outlines for the program are included.
